GRAND oPENINe
OF the Hil1sbOrO COnserva-
tory Of Music.
Brilliant Reception at the High
land Institute.

land Institute.
That the opening Of the Conservatory
Of Music at the Institute last Tuesday
evening was one of the most enjoyable
occasions of the season goes without
saying. BY half.past eight the brilliantly.
lighted Institute was a scene Of anima-
tion and pleasure. In response to a
large number OF invitations issued by
the Conservatory, large and apprccia-
tive congregation of the best people of
Hillsboro had assembled to witness the
opening of an institution of which we
have great reason to be proud. OF course
all we're anxious to form the acquaint-
ance Of those who were instrumental in
establishing the Conservatory in Hills
boro, and the object OF the early part of
the evening was to meet and welcome
our most acceptable neighbors, and suf.
flee 1t to say that If our Conservatory
friends are as much delighted with us
a. we are with them, a most desirable
relation exists between us. As Prof.
McKenzie's name has been the earliest
associated with the new school of music,
we al felt greatly honored to meet this
school has such unexceptional prospects
is explained in part by the enthusiasm
and zeal with which the director is inn.
bued. He is certainly the right man in
the right place, and while he is at the
helm there need be no fear of the pros
perity Of the institution. That he has a
most thorough and efficient corps of
teachers was evinced by the talent they
displayed in the exercises of the even.
ing.
They have all had the best advantages
the country can offer, and this fact, to.
gether with their great natural ability,
Is guarantee Of their thorough compe.
tency of their work.
The reception committee, consisting OF
Miss Allen, Mrs. Ferris, Mrs. Cummings,
Miss Maria Stewart, Mrs. Sloane, Mrs.
Alice Boyd and Mrs. DR.. Helt, were bus.
lily engaged in the early part Of the eve
ming in receiving and presenting the
callers. After the company had enjoyed
social season of some time, the an.
nouncement that the programme of the
evening was about to be begun caused a
cessation of the hum of conversation
that had .pervaded hall and parlor since
early in the evening.
The first piece Of the evening was
trio-"The Violet"-by Curshman, and
was most charmingly rendered by Misses
McClarey and Mckenzie and Prof. Trits-
cheller.
This was followed by the violin duo,
"El TrOvatore," and was Qiyen bv Miss
Dill and Prof. Tritschelier. Miss Dill
displayed great talent as a violinist in
the rendition of the difficult composition,
Perhaps the piano solo "Reverie Bril-.
liante," by Lisst, was a. much enioyed
as any part of the programme, partly on
account of the great popularity of the
composer and partly on account of the
magnificent rendition by Miss Beatrice
Bechtolt, who was acknowledged by all
to be one of the most charming ladies
present.
Miss Maggie McClary then followed
with vocal solo, "Air and Variations, !"
by Proch, and in this showed the fine
state Of cultivation to which she had
brought her excellent voice.
Miss Emma Dill then again came for
ward ana charmed her audience with q
violin solo, "6me Sir varie, /" by De Beriot.
"Aria Lucia" by Danizeth, was rem
dered by Miss Maggie McClary, who had
won hosts of admirers in her former ap-
pearance.
The last piece on the programme was
an interesting duet-"La Fiele du Regi-
ment," by De Beriot-and was rendered
on the violin and piano by Professors
Tritscheller and Mckenzie, and was a
grand finale to the exercises of the even.
ing.
To all those who witnessed this feast
OF music there can be but one conviction,
and that is with such superior talent and
such thorough equipment the Hillsboro
Conservatory of Music must be q grand
success. It starts out under the most
propitious surroundings, and already
Prof. Mckenzie has been compelled to
find rooms outside of the institution for
the matriculates of the school. Let every
body avail themselves of these superior
advantages offered by this institution.
The location could be no better, and
there is NO reason why with all these
advantages the Conservatory should be
second to none In our land. We are
proud to claim such an institution as oul
own, and let us pledge it our heartiest
support, and let every effort be put forth
to make 1t continue to increase in popu
larity and favor till the Hillsboro Con
servatory of Music shall stand in the
foremost ranks of the best institutions o.
our country.
